SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of textile fabrics impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics (excluding tire cord) (SITC 65732) totaled $67.7M in April 2026, traded with 65 countries.
Importers of Textile Fabrics Impregnated, Coated, or Laminated with Plastics (Excluding Tire Cord) paid $7.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $46.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPlastic-coated and laminated textile fabrics — used in awnings, luggage, upholstery, protective clothing, and industrial covers — are explicitly scoped to exclude tire cord fabric, which falls under a separate heading. The plastic layer's composition (PVC, polyurethane, polyethylene) and whether it is visible to the naked eye are critical classification factors under customs rules. Chinese-origin goods in this category have faced Section 301 tariff exposure, making origin documentation and supply-chain diversification active concerns for sourcing teams.

CBP applies a practical visual test: if the plastic coating can be seen without magnification and gives the fabric its essential character, the article is classified as a plastic-coated textile. If the coating is microscopic or merely imparts a finish, the base textile heading may govern. Lab analysis or a binding ruling can resolve ambiguous cases.
Importers should have the manufacturer's technical data sheet specifying the base fiber content, the plastic compound used, coating weight, and end-use application. Country-of-origin certificates and, where applicable, Section 301 exclusion documentation should also be on file before the goods arrive at port.
